A few pics from the Poker Run

[CNC Wizard]

I would like to thank all the kind folks that made this past weekend possible for all of us. We had a great time and got to meet some really nice people and see some awesome boats there.

Bill and Kip Combs were really class acts and much fun to be around.

Bonnie and Clyde "Bill and Monica" brought from Michigan a down right nasty boat. You could tell there was a lot of thought put into that boat and it was great talking with you folks.

Friday night at Cabana Jacks was a great time. While we were there we got to meet Jeff and Suzi. We ended up running around with these two most of the event and was able to trade quite a few laughs. Hopefully we can all meet back up again sometime.

Saturday night had one hell a great dinner going. We got to talk with the people from Canada "sorry guys I am terrible with names" and Big Dave and his wife "congrats on the anniversery" again it was nice to be in company of nice people.

The crew from Maryland brought down some pretty boats and were a riot to watch. I wonder if the big guy is still on the patch and was able to get any sleep??

Anyway here is the last couple pics as we head under the bridge.

It was not to bad, it just depended if you were near the lead or not. We were in a 30 ft boat, at one point in time we did come out of the water and hit hard enough to make the porta pot do a 180.

[merc245]

I had the largest outboard and am use to the bigger water. I can say it was a rough day than it got tore up quickly.Only could run 1/2 - 2/3 throddle. In the afternoon counldn't raft off with twice blown becuase of the roughness.It did get tiresom for the smaller boats.

P.S. I did make to put-in-bay and back in3/4 footers the next day.

[mate229]

I can't believe that no one else took pictures. Come on, post your picturs. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

We had a great time.... uh except for shower's. Great pics keep em coming. Jack&Sherry

[check253]

Jack are you ready to upgrade your setup to a new style turbo yet? A TT EFI setup is hard to beat.http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[REDCHECKMATE]

BILL ....I'll be ready someday just not this yr. Already spent too much on freshen up. My boat would not stand much more power and I know Sherry don't want it any faster. I'll be calling when I,m ready.

[JASON KUNKEL]

There are some great pics! I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came to the poker run Jon and Dave (as well as Tracy and Marsha)did a great job pulling the event off especially for the first one.
most thought that Jon and Dave were employees of Kunkel's Marine...but they are friends of ours as well as customers and decided to do this on there own because of how much they enjoy there Checkmate Boats....I know that there were some people that were upset at the cost of the event.If anyone has ever attended a poker run knows that the facilities and the food were probably as good as.. if not better than any run in country costing 5 times as much...$200.00 is a really cheap weekend for such an event.

I hope everyone attended had a good time (and I think they did)and we look forward to next year.
Thanks Again!

[brian s]

wow great pics http://www.checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/thumb.gif

[mate229]

Jason:
My wife and myself had a great time at this Poker Run. Met some great people, and really enjoyed the whole event. We're already looking forward to next year's run.
Jon and Dave did a wonderful job in putting this Poker Run together. I thought that the route was well thought out. It enabled the smaller boats to make the run.
The 200.00 fee was reasonable. Most Poker Runs will cost you alot more, with lousy food, and stuffy people.
Lyman Harbor put on an unbelievable feast!! The food and service was outstanding. I hope that this event can be held here again.
Hope that all the pictures that were taken can be posted for everyone to see. There was a woman taking Pictures as we left the harbor Sat. at the start of the run. How do we get a hold of these pic's??
Thanks again. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/thumb.gif http://www.checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/thumb.gif

Jon, Once we go to kodakgallery.com where do we go next. I tried to go look but I can't figure it out. My husband is dying to see them and mad that I can't get there. lol

[check n out]

OK,that is a problem.Let's save a marriage.It seems the only way is if you email me then i can send them to you on the kodak site. I have about 170 pictures in the album. The other solution is if you would like a copy of all 300+ pictures email me and i can copy my disc and mail it to you.I have everybody's registration or send me your address.Hopefully this will get them to the participants.

Great Pic's. Thanks for sharing!!

[ynnad]

What a great looking bunch of boats!!! Pretty heavy water for some of the smaller ones, but they all look like they are handling it well.

Dan

[orangecrush]

Nice job thanks.

[the sMac]

What are the odds?

170 photos, and not one single picture of my boat or my group in any of them.... bummer http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif

Anyone else missing from the pics?

Maybe that invisible paint I bought is working.

[merc245]

Just received the picture I orderd From the Offical Picture site that Chad (cnc wizard) posted for Every one. Got a 8x10 for $3 and its perfect. I advise if someone wants 1 to order it that way. merc245
